Category:

Sub Category:

Estimated Cost:

$980,000

Description:

Rehabilitate Taxiway (TW) R from approximately Taxilane (TL) P to TW Q and to evaluate the storm drains with CCTV inspections and repair/replace as needed. Improvements include to replace lighting, markings, signs; and adjust utilities as needed.

Priority:

Short

Need Origination:

M&O

Justification:

TW R is part of the main movement areas at ANC. This section of TW R has had some projects in recent years. RW 15/33, connected interlinks TW Q, TL S, TW T and TL U to the RW and TW R was brought up to current ADG 6 standards, The remaining asphalt exhibits alligator cracking, cracking, rutting, and raveling. TW R was last reconstructed in 2005. The average PCI of the remaining parts of TW R that have not been reconstructed/rehabilitated with other projects is 40. TW R is nearing its 20-year useful life and with a PCI below 55 should be programmed for replacement. If this project is not implemented, the asphalt will continue to deteriorate until the surface cannot support moving aircraft. This involves potential damage to aircraft and surface transportation vehicles from cracks, ruts, FOD and other impediments. FOD on taxiways are a safety concern for aircraft moving on the airfield. If the project is not completed and the taxiway becomes unusable aircraft will not be able to navigate from their parking areas to the runways.
